 The paper entitled ‘A Unique Humorous Wooden Model of a Boat Trip preserved in Cairo Agricultural Museum No.688’ deals with a mysterious topic in Egyptology. In brief, it draws attention to a wooden model coated with plaster of a cat with a mouse in a boat trip from Deir-El Medineh, New kingdom period, via a description of it, following a zoological description of the cat and the mouse. This study demonstrates that this model has a religious purpose not a cynical or political purpose
